A NOS FRERES D’ARMES AMERICAINS

"We have shared our daily life with two US units for quite a while -
they are the first and fourth companies of a prestigious infantry
battalion whose name I will withhold for the sake of military secrecy.
To the common man it is a unit just like any other. But we live with
them and got to know them, and we henceforth know that we have the honor
to live with one of the most renowned units of the US Army - one that
the movies brought to the public as series showing "ordinary soldiers
thrust into extraordinary events". Who are they, those soldiers from
abroad, how is their daily life, and what support do they bring to the
men of our OMLT every day? Few of them belong to the Easy Company, the
one the TV series focuses on. This one nowadays is named Echo Company,
and it has become the support company.

They have a terribly strong American accent - from our point of view the language they speak is not even English.

Pitt County Schools has responded to a viral video that alleges a Farmville Central public school lesson plan is promoting the Prophet Mohamed and Islam. The video was created by Dianne Lynn Savage, who urges the audience to share this video as widely as possible and to not ‘just sit back and allow this.’

This unassuming 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 may look mundane, but its story
begins with the cross-breeding that occurred between NASCAR and the
illicit liquor trade – bootlegging, that is; moonshine.

The horsepower races of the mid-'50s saw NASCAR homologate multiple
carburetion, fuel injection and supercharging, all of which moonshiners
immediately adopted in the quest to stay out of revenuers’ clutches. One
such character, who shall remain anonymous, bought and paid cash for
this 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 but was hauled off to jail before he could
take delivery. It languished on the dealer’s lot for a year before it
found another buyer who, shocked by the car’s terrible gas mileage, had
the dealer remove the supercharger.

The burning and looting of Southern towns and cities during the war was not isolated and limited to Sherman. The spectacle of Northern soldiers plundering the homes and cities of Americans in the South astonished even news reporters accompanying the invading forces.
Bernhard Thuersam, Circa1865

The Roar of Flames in Jacksonville:

“. . . on March 28, 1863, [the Northern commander] received orders to evacuate Jacksonville and terminate the East Florida operation. At 8 AM on the morning of March 28, as the troops began boarding their transports, first one, then another, and finally a third column of smoke rose from the city [and] . . . Some of the troops began rioting, plundering, vandalizing, and setting the town on fire with torches.

On the day before, there had been warning that this might occur. That day, the New York Tribune correspondent reported: “The beautiful little cottage used as the Catholic parsonage, together with the church, was fired by some of the soldiers, and in a short time burned to the ground.”

The soldiers had plundered the church of any items of value and destroyed the organ, abandoning the building ahead of the flames, “celebrating the occasion by blowing through an organ pipe.” Now it was happening . . . before the horrified eyes of the reporter. From the deck of his ship, he reported the ugly scene before him:

“I am writing now from the deck of a fine transport ship, the Boston. From this upper deck the scene presented to the spectator is one of fearful magnificence. On every side, from every quarter of the city, dense clouds of black smoke and flame are bursting through the mansions and warehouses. The whole city, mansions, warehouses, trees, shrubbery, and orange groves; all that refined taste and art through many years have made beautiful and attractive, are being lapped up and devoured by this howling fiery blast . . . Is not this war — vindictive, unrelenting war? Have we not gotten up to the European standard?”

“Before we were ready to embark the [Northern soldiers] began to set fire to the city . . . On my way down I ran into . . . a church and groping through the smoke and fire I took from the altar a large gilt-bound prayer book with the inscription on the cover, “St. John’s Episcopal Church, Jacksonville.” Farther down on Market Street I entered a building that appeared to be some kind of office and from a table or desk I took a manuscript map of the city of Jacksonville.

Farther down I saw some Negro soldiers setting fires and from their songs and shouting they appeared to be having a good time [Davis, History of Jacksonville, p. 132].”

Calvin Rogers . . . pinpointed how and where he believed the fires had been started:

“One fire was set by soldiers of the 8th Maine . . . Another by the 6th Connecticut . . . a third fire was kindled by a mulatto soldier of Col. Montgomery’s Regiment, named Isaac Smith . . . ”

“The sight and roar of the flames, and the rolling clouds of smoke, brought home to the impressionable minds of the black soldiers all their favorite imagery of the Judgment Day, Col. [Thomas] Higginson observed . . . excited by the spectacle and sang and exhorted without ceasing.”

A Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife officer killed a mountain
lion on a Bourbon County farm on Monday, marking the first confirmed
sighting of a mountain lion in Kentucky since before the Civil War, said
Mark Marraccini, a spokesman for the agency.

Marraccini
said a farmer spotted the cat in a tree and alerted the department. When
the officer responded, he found the animal had been trapped in
different tree by a barking dog and decided it was best to "dispatch
it."

It might not get the news coverage it deserves with everything else going
on at the moment, but the unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of
the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati against a federal
gun law is a very big deal. The court held that the federal ban on gun
ownership by people who have been committed to a mental institution is
an unconstitutional violation of the Second Amendment. Rulings of that
caliber (if you’ll pardon the pun) don’t come down all that often. The
previous instance was the Supreme Court’s Heller ruling against
Washington D.C.’s firearms ban in 2008, which those on both sides of
the gun control debate would agree was a very big deal.

Stop and analyze what has just been said in the first installment in
light of your Confederate and Southern history, in light of your
Southern culture, in light of the Christian faith most of us embrace,
which truly recognizes the eternal truth that Jesus Christ IS the way,
the truth, and the life, and that no man or woman gets to God the Father
except through Him. All of this represents the “old” thinking and so it
has to be done away with–and the Marxist Critical Theorists are working
overtime at that, while most Christians slumber on–totally unaware.

Abolitionist hatred of Americans in the South seemed boundless with people like Wendell Phillips desiring their near-extermination, and Parson Brownlow preaching that “We will crowd the rebels into the Gulf of Mexico, and drown the entire race, as the devil did the hogs in the Sea of Galilee.” The South was only asking for political independence.
Bernhard Thuersam, Circa1865

Abolitionists Drunk on the Fumes of Blood

“Wendell Phillips, who, before the blood began to flow, eloquently declared that the South was in the right, that Lincoln had no right to send armed men to coerce her, after battles begun seemed to become drunk on the fumes of blood and mad for more than battlefields afforded. In a speech delivered in [Henry Ward] Beecher’s church, to a large and presumably a Christian congregation, Phillips made the following remarkable declaration:

“I do not believe in battles ending this war. You may plant a fort in every district of the South, you may take possession of her capitals and hold them with your armies, but you have not begun to subdue her people. I know it seems something like absolute barbarian conquest, I allow it, but I do not believe there will be any peace until 347,000 men of the South are either hanged or exiled (Cheers).”

Why the precise number, 347,000, does not appear. If the hanging at one fell swoop of 347,000 men and women seemed to Phillips something like barbarian conquest, it would be interesting to know what would have appeared truly barbarian. History records some crimes of such stupendous magnitude, even to this day men shudder at their mention.”

(Facts and Falsehoods, Concerning the War on the South, George Edmonds, Spence Hall Lamb, 1904, pp. 235-236)

Honestly, sometimes leftist thought
police surprise even me, not so much with their unreasonableness,
extremism, and tyrannical tactics but with their brazenness in openly
showing who they are. Each new day’s headlines trump yesterday’s.A few weeks ago, Fox News’ Todd Starnes
reported on a Marquette University student’s encounter with his ethics
instructor. The professor, Cheryl Abbate, was leading her “Theory of
Ethics” class in a discussion about the application of philosophical
theories to controversial political issues.Among the issues listed on the
blackboard were gay rights, gun rights and the death penalty. Professor
Abbate removed gay rights from the list before the discussion began,
with the summary explanation, “We all agree on this.”

In the hierarchy of lives that matter, you have blacks on top, most
other people in the middle, and at the bottom, just below the potato
peelings and rat excrement, you have cops — especially cops of pallor.
That would explain the abject lack of sympathy for Baltimore police
officer Andrew Groman, who was shot in the line of duty.

Well done Ferguson looters! You’ve managed to close K-Mart and Big
Lots, and kill jobs in your community. You should be proud of your
‘protests’ for gangsta thug Michael Brown. Thanks to you, hundreds of
working people in Ferguson will no longer have an income, and some
wouldn’t even be able to afford Christmas presents. All because of your rioting and looting. You thugs must be so proud.

Of course the politically correct hacks at Big Lots claim that they
aren’t closing their Ferguson store because of the riots and looting.
Yea, I’m sure it’s just a coincidence right?

Hiawayi Robinson, the 8-year-old Prichard
girl found dead behind an abandoned building in September, died of
"homicidal violence" at the hands of her father, Mobile County District
Attorney Ashley Rich said at a news conference on Tuesday.

Authorities arrested 38-year-old Hiawatha Robinson on charges of
first-degree sodomy and murder on Tuesday afternoon. If convicted,
Hiawatha Robinson faces 10 to 99 years or life in prison for each
charge, Rich said.

The truth about murder and race in Mississippi may prove reducible to
black and white after all, as with fifty years ago in the infamous
“Mississippi Burning” case. Breaking, bombshell social media evidence
in the Jessica Chambers case suggests the dynamic is reversed, but
similar.

In trying to follow and sort out the details surrounding the grisly
immolation death of the white former cheerleader two weeks ago, one
encounters a cast of very shady characters a country mile long and wide,
with the sordid backstory of small-town police corruption in Panola
County, and a troubled family tale, all of it murky and convoluted
almost beyond belief.

Nailing the actual guilty party, however, could turn out to be not
all that complicated. That’s because some black terrorists in the
victim’s immediate circle have left a rather obvious trail of specific,
racially-oriented murder threats.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

Core Creek Militia

==============================My sixth great grandfather, his wife, and five of his six children were killed in battle with the Tuscarora Indians at Core Creek, NC.

The Seven Blackbirds

==============================My third great grandfather was an Ensign in the Revolutionary War, and saved his unit's flag after being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine. He was also at Kingston (Kinston), Wilmington, Charleston, Two Sisters and Augusta. He was at the defeat at Brier Creek and also Bee Creek.

Requiem Aeternam -
Eternal Rest Grant unto Them
==============================
My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
